Refranes
Buscando entre mis recuerdos
habia un cuaderno de escual
y la sopresa fue grande
al ver que era de mi abuela.
Habian poemas de amor
y con lujo de detalle.
Pero lo que mas me cautivo
fueron todos sus refranes
Amor y fortuna (Resistencia ninguna)
A cada pajarillo (Le gusta su nidillo)
A caras honradas (No encuantra puerta cerrada)
A cualquier dolencia (El remedio es la paciencia)
A casa de ti tia (Entrada por salida)
A la cena y la cama (Una vez se llama)
No por mucho madrugar,
amanece mas temprano.
Seguia leyendo con calma.
La tinta estaba borrosa.
Quien creyyera que la Abuela
desde joven tan jocosa.
Voy a seguir sus consejos
antes de que sea muy tarde.
Bendicion a to' los viejos
y a mi abuela dios la guarde.
En el pais del ciego (El tuerto es el rey)
La cabra siempre busca (Pal' monte)
En casa de herrero (Cuchillo de palo)
A padre ahorrador (Hijo gastador)
A quien le dan el pie (Se toma la mano)
Al que le duele una muel (Que la eche fuera)
Aquel amor viejo (Ni lo olvido ni lo dejo)
No por mucho madrugar,
amanece mas temprano
A falta de mano (Bueno son los pies)
A buen capellan (Mejor sacristan)
El ojo del amo (Engorda al caballo)
Al que mucho tiene (MAs le viene)
Agua corriente (Sana a la gente)
Barco en varadero (No gana dinero)
Amor por interes (Se acaba en un dos por tres)
No por mucho madrugar,
amanece mas temprano.
Y con esta me despido.
Espero tomes consejo
de los refranes de Abuela
pa' que tu llegues a viejo.

Saying
Searching among my memories
there was a notebook of escal
and the surprise was great
seeing it was my grandmother's.
There were love poems
and with luxury of detail.
But what captivates me most
they were all his sayings
Love and fortune (Resistance none)
Each bird (likes its nest)
A honest faces (No door closed)
To any ailment (the remedy is patience)
To ti tia's house (entrance by exit)
To dinner and bed (once called)
Not for long to get up,
it's early morning.
I kept reading calmly.
The ink was blurry.
Who believed that Grandma
since such a playful young man.
I will follow your advice
before it's too late.
Blessing to all ' the old
and my grandmother God forbid.
In the land of the blind (the Blind is the King)
The goat always seeks (pal ' monte)
In the House of Blacksmith (stick knife)
A spender father (spender son)
To whom they give the foot (takes the hand)
The one who has a toothache (to throw it out)
That old love (I neither forget nor leave it)
Not for long to get up,
early dawn
Lack of hand (good are the feet)
A good chaplain (best sacristan)
The eye of the master (fattens the horse)
To the one who has much (but it comes)
Running water (healthy people)
Boat in varadero (not earning money)
Love for interest (ends in a two by three)
Not for long to get up,
it's early morning.
And with this I say goodbye.
I hope you take advice
from Grandma's sayings
so you can get old.
